How the PTSA Supports MLA
Fundraising
The PTSA subsidizes much of what your child experiences during a typical week, from art and music to P.E., library books and field trips. We raise funds through Cada Familia, our ongoing fundraising campaign, and by hosting two school-wide fundraising events per year: Bailatón and Lee-a-tón.
Community Activities
Join us for coffee on the curb, monthly family meet-ups, cultural affinity groups, family swap and more. Meet like-minded families and make new friends while celebrating everything that makes our community unique. Check ParentSquare and be sure to sync with the MLA school calendar for upcoming events.
Equity and Access
The PTSA prioritizes the needs, expertise, and experiences of our Spanish-speaking and historically marginalized communities, while leveraging and expanding the support of families with socioeconomic privilege.
English-speaking families: How do we show up to a bilingual school?
MLA was founded on the premise of providing opportunities for native Spanish speakers and newcomers, as well as opportunities for cross-cultural communication, empathy and learning for all students. We invite you to consider the unique dynamics of a bilingual school and engage with this in mind. Check out this article by a member of our community for more information.
